[QUOTE="Octave, post: 2007546, member: 61234"] Grats! Follow the methods, speed comes in time and even then it's mostly if you feel like busting your ass. They likely wanted you to write the SPA or pick-n-stick the label when you were seasonal, but as volume dies down a bit it's much easier to load stuff in order without any of that bull:censored:. I still pick-n-stick the SPA when I have time, but if I don't I just keep it all in my head. A trick I do, which may not work for everyone, is leaving out all the letters and bags until most of the boxes have stopped coming down the slide. Means I can focus on fitting all the cardboard in as they come and then fit the smalls in between them nicely at the end instead of moving them all about throughout. I only do this if I can find some spare totes, though, and that's often difficult. Yeah, I was hired as a preloader (permanent part-time) on 10/21/14, then laid off on 12/24/14 because I didn't have "30 working days". Now, I did, but they said December didn't count. It was pretty shady. But it was my first job and I didn't know better so I turned in my ID and went home. Was told to reapply, so I did, and I rejoined UPS on 6/9/15. I've been trying to educate myself about the union and my rights since then. As I'm sure people have told you before, I'll reiterate: they'll try to take advantage of you. Once you make seniority, or book, or whatever you call it--when you're no longer on probation--it's very hard to lose your job. [/QUOTE]
